Best KPortal Reviews

Nice little quiet place to eat. Great attitudes and service! Plus you get free fries if you dine in! Oh and they are no longer cash only despite what other reviews say. 10/10 recommend!
I ordered the Ultra Uncle Sam's Special Steak(extra steak, provolone, mushrooms, grilled onions, "sweet" peppers, lettuce & tomatoes fries included of coarse! Delicious ????
I got the portobello sandwich the other day and got a total of 6 slices of mushrooms on my sandwich. How is there going to be almost no mushrooms on a mushroom sandwich? Up until the other day, i havent been here for a while but these sandwiches used to be STUFFED with mushrooms, and ooey gooey delicious cheese. I used to be full after eating half, and it used to fall out of the sides, it was so full. It was a genuine huge disappointment to come back to. I fully understand everywhere is raising prices and making smaller portions. Ive worked in and ran kitchens so i fully understand food costs and that eveything is more expensive now. I judt expected a reasonable amount of mushrooms in a mushroom sandwich. Not saying it needed to be over flowing like it used to be.... but damn man, at least give me more than literal 6 slices in the whole sandwich.
I love the sandwiches of this place. Portions are big, the sandwiches are tasty, prices are reasonable and people who are taking the order are cool. I go there regularly.
A Pittsburgh, staple have been going here since highschool. Love the bread and hot(temperature) Italian sub. Good spot to stop at after a couple drinks at the squirrel hill cafe.
Looked up and went here to reminisce the sandwiches from ~25 years ago as a student and heard from him they still taste as good as before!! It’s just today the Roma tomato sandwich was not available. Fast and friendly service. Good/flexible options for vegetarians, I loved the spinach/broccoli one, will add jalapeño or some spicy sauce next time. The breads are softer than the other sandwich places which worked out well for our picky eater.
I always live stopping by Uncle Sam' Subs. Whether in Squirrel Hill or Robinson, the food is always good. I don't know if they bake their own bread or not, but you could put Shoe Leather on their buns and it would taste good.
Always a winner.
I did notice that the fries seemed a bit thicker than I remember from last visit but my vote is to stick with the thinner fries - they hold up better as lunch goes on.
The food is overall good, the fries are only good right out of the fryer but they're fantastic when they are. The atmosphere, it's a sub shop. It's fine. Service is terrible. Took almost 50 minutes for a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. I get it, it's lunch, it's busy, but I watched people coming in after me, ordering other similar stuff, and eating it half of it before I was even called up. Got a half shrug and a "sorry." At most other places that would be a food comp. If the service was quick and chill like a hero shop should be this place would be a gem. As it sits, it's meh.
